Hi all,
I was in a lecture yesterday for Uni, and the lecture was focusing on the Philosophy of Science, and the distinction between pseudo-science and 'real science'. The lecturer made mention that astrology is a pseudo-science, and that it should not take on the title of science at all and simply remain a non-science. He also said that for anybody to believe that celestial bodies have an effect on our lives is silly.
This got me to thinking... How, according to the principles of astrology, do the planets and stars and their movements affect our lives on earth? Is there really a link between us?
And would you class Astrology as a non-science or a scientific practice?
Blessings,
Kiama
